HrIrht Ewes and Beautiful Figures.
The aristocratic Creole lady is often
model for the imitation OF her sex.
She is an obedient and respectful
daughter. n faithful wife and devot
ed mother. She is soft of speech, ana
has grace of manner which gives .
charm to NIL she does. Well educated
and accomplished, with keen w.t. she
makes brilliant figure in society," pu'
is. nevertheless. an excellent manager
of her household, and gives a most
careful supervision to every detail tha'
will enhance the comfort OF her lord.
She looks diligently after the physical
and intellectual welfare OF her emil
dren; especially are her daughters
trained under her own eyes IN
all that goes TO make woman
lovely in mind and person.
Their tasks for school are conned
by her side. their music lessons are
practiced within her hearing, that she
may detect the least false note. She
shares in all their amusements; she is
their companion, their confidante, their
friend. They come to her with all their
little hopes and fears sure of her
sympathy. When her daughter is
grown, the Creole matron blooms
again into a rich second youth; hei
own girlhood is renewed in that OF
child; they are scarcely mother and
dau ghter any longer. but pair OF
loving sisters. The young girl is edu.
Gated in convent. and leads a Sc
cluded existence until she is launched
into society. to and then in the joyous
life that bursts upon her she is al
ways surrounded by the same
watchful care that guarded her
childhood. Young girls are not
allowed to go into society
without being accompanied by their
mothers, or some other married iaav,
as chapcron--one of the many Creole
customs which has been generally
adopted by the American residents OF
New Orleans.
These young girls are often wonder
fully beautiful. Good features. hand
some eyes and graceful figures COM
bine to make them very attractive,
their beauty being not infreqnently
Oriental in type though the vivacity
of their manner marks them as essen
italy French in character. Many
Creole women are very accomplished.
They have skill in music and paint
ing that is often artistic. In the
literary clubs which society women
have inaugnrated If late years in New
Orleans, the American ladies have
been astonished to find the Creole
ladies quite AS we'll posted rs them
selves in English literature,
while possessing much greater
knowledge of the literature OF other
countries. But an accomplishment
still more attractive to the impecunious
young man seeking matrimony is the
exquisite tas'e with which these maid
ems fair will fashion their own gowns
and bonnets when circumstances
require them to make these things at
| home. The Cr9rle women have in
heriied their French taste for dress,
and in a greater degree than other
Americans they L gard the fiat of
| Paris rs the supreme authority in all
matters concerning the toilet. Also.
the Creole women of all ages and all
classes are devout. Neither social en-
gagements. nor weather, nor o h II OBJ
stacles are allowed to interfere with
the discharge of their religious duties.
Are they not somewhat superstitious?
Some of them little so, perhaps, in
remembrance of voudou stories told
them in their infancy by old negro
